SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

Jürgen Klopp is joining the team.

That's right, on the eve of Liverpool's Premier League blockbuster against fierce rivals Manchester United, the effervescent Manager of the Season will join Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Kenny Dalglish and Gareth Southgate for an evening of scintillating soccer chat, badinage and banter, on all things football.

And when a quartet of the game's greatest managers sit down to discuss the past, the present and the future of the beautiful game, anything goes!

  • VAR? Blessing or curse?
  • Is football without the fans worth having? How is it affecting the teams?
  • Can Jürgen and Liverpool hang on to their Premier League title? Sunday's game will go a long way to answering that.
  • What does Fergie think of "Fergie Time"? Or Man U's proliferation of Old Trafford penalties?
  • What makes the difference between a good striker and a deadly goal assassin? Perhaps Sir Kenny, one of the greatest of all time, has some thoughts?
  • What's happening at international level? What an exciting crop of youngsters Gareth has at his disposal.
  • All this and training camp gossip.

And you get to ask the questions, put to the gargantuans of the game by top sports journo, Kelly Cates.

Thanks to all of you our previous productions (including For One Knight Only) have raised over £432,000 for the performing arts. Join us as we shift our focus this time to benefit sporting charities.

Sir Alex Ferguson CBE

Following a trophy laden spell at Aberdeen, where he broke the Old Firm monopoly of Scottish football, Sir Alex moved South to became Manchester United manager in November 1986. The following 27 years saw the Glaswegian lead United to 28 major honours, including 13 league titles, five FA Cups and two UEFA Champions Leagues. The highlight of his tenure at Old Trafford came at the end of the 1998-99 season when the club completed a historic treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League; an achievement which saw Ferguson knighted in the Queen's birthday honours list just three weeks later. Away from the pitch he also joined the likes of George Orwell and William Shakespeare by contributing to the English language when he coined the phrase 'squeaky-bum time,' which is now included in both the Collins English Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary.

Sir Kenny Dalglish MBE

World-renowned player-manager with 322 appearances for Celtic and 515 for Liverpool. Beginning his career in 1968, he is widely considered to be the greatest Liverpool player of all time. He earned a record 102 full caps for the Scottish national team, for which he also scored a joint-record 30 goals. He became the player-manager of Liverpool in 1985 and went on to win three First Division, two FA Cups and four FA Cups before his resignation in 1991. He subsequently managed Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, taking the former from the Second Division to Premier League champions in 1995, before returning as Liverpool's caretaker manager in 2011. As one of the most prominent figures in the history of England's most decorated club, he was appointed Anfield's non-executive director in 2013 and the Centenary Stand was renamed after him in 2017. He is on record as saying that when he got the letter offering him a knighthood, he thought it was from the taxman.

Jürgen Klopp

Celebrated manager, famous for his wit and personality, just as much as his skill. As a player he made over 300 professional appearances for FSV Mainz 05, where he won a German Cup and made a Champions League Final appearance, but his main successes have been in the field of management. After a successful period managing second division Mainz into the Bundesliga, then winning back-to-back Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund, he took over as manager of Liverpool in 2015, and in the space of five years made the team champions of England, Europe and the rest of the world. As one of the most forward-thinking managers working today, he also delivered the UEFA Super Cup, the club's first ever FIFA Club World Cup, and the emotional bond he has developed over this period with the players and supporters alike elevated him to legendary status. A master of the 'heavy metal' school of football management, he is beloved by his fans and the coolest man ever with the middle name Norbert.

Gareth Southgate OBE

Internationally respected player and incumbent manager of the English national team. He first won the League Cup with Aston Villa in 1996 and subsequently with Middlesbrough in 2004. He made 57 appearances for the English national team between 1995 and 2004, including appearances at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and the 1996 and 2000 European Championships. He retired from professional play in 2006 after over 500 league appearances, and subsequently became manager for Middlesbrough from 2006 to 2009, before taking over as manager of the national team in 2016. As England's manager he built strong unity among the players, and in 2018 delivered a run to a World Cup semi-final, a feat that had only been achieved once since 1966. Not bad for someone who joined the Crystal Palace Youth Team at the age of 16 and was given the advice to give up football and become a travel agent instead.
